I don't think I am. One cigarette versus the lossening and depressurising of a muscle that needs to stay closed.
I once had a colonoscapi(sp). Ouch.
Colonoscopy. Scoping the colon.
Yeah, it hurt. It would for anyone. (A) It's not a sexual sitaution; sexual arousal is not involved. (B) It's akin to a woman going in for a pelvic exam to her gyno and he/she uses the speculum. Not a pleasant experience from what my ex has told me, even though the vagina is designed for penetration.
And the sphincter's job is not to stay closed constantly. It's to open when the person needs it to open.
Unless of course yours doesn't, which would mean that you are, in fact, full of shit in the most literal of ways.
Quote: Pariah said The discomfort is a form of sacrifice that comes with priesthood. However, the truly devout priests won't even care about sex because of their immersion in prayer. And in any case, there's nothing unhealthy about celibacy.
Oh, I beg to differ about the unhealthiness of celibacy. The body was designed to be a sexual thing. Human beings, regardless of their station in life or their calling, have sexual urges.
My honest opinion is that all the sexual atrocities/crimes we're witnessing in the Priesthood stand as solid evidence that celibacy is not a healthy thing and that many Priests have tried ways to satisfy those urges without losing their positions (hence their preying on children)
And you do know that Priests at one time were permitted to marry?
